[pima.nius] Coming up on Pacific Pulse this weekend

For immediate release

Pacific Pulse

one ocean – many stories

Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.

 

Episode 9

 

In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Tania Nugent is at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane which is transformed every three years into a showcase of the best contemporary art from 25 nations for the Asia Pacific Triennial.  In the sixth triennial, Pacific art takes a new place alongside the more extravagant and expensive work of many Asian artists.  It includes for the first time traditional sculptures from Vanuatu's Ambrym Island, as well as simple prints from the Mataso printers, also from Vanuatu. Hawaiian artist, Solomon Enos converts the mythical creatures of legend to comic book strips for the current generation and  there's a four metre masi, or bark cloth, thanks to a collaboration between two Fijian tapa artists and a New Zealander.
